Universal =30ft........5x6'...............29' 2".............................4.4kg

X-Tel = 31ft........7x5'...............31' 4"..............................3.15kg

The Universal is stiffer though:

Universal RQ = 73%
X-Tel RQ = 71%

Blimey has the carbon facelift got stiffer? Or is it a new chart with a different benchmark?

It's a chart based on shorter lengths.  The original chart was on 8.3 metres (28ft) of extended length.  The two charts above (which we had already compiled) are based on 22ft and 17ft of extended length.  It is interesting to see how pole characteristics change at different heights.

Just need a chart now of prices. ;)
Alex, do you have special software installed that triggers your laptop everytime the word 'pole' is entered in the forum? ;D

It also works if you type in 'Chocolate' or 'Fiat Spider' or 'Aston Martin'.  :)
